Prince Harry and Meghan Markle receive wedding cake made of cheese

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have their hearts set on a banana wedding cake ahead of their nuptials in May, but the couple have just been gifted a five-tier cake made entirely of cheese.

Harry and Markle finally made it to Cardiff for their official visit after being held up for an hour due to train delays, and upon arrival, were presented with a magnificent cake by the Snowdonia Cheese Company based in Rhyl, North Wales.

Director of the cheese company Simon Mercer said (via Hello!): "We made it for them. It's to celebrate their wedding and to offer our congratulations to them. We do get asked to make wedding cakes occasionally. We have been asked in the past to do it."

The layers of the cake are made up of Beechwood, a smoked cheddar; Red Storm, a vintage Red Leicester; Black Bomber, an extra mature cheddar; and Green Thunder, a cheddar with garlic and herbs.

Mercer added: "They are very welcome to take it away but it's unlikely."

The royal couple's visit includes a tour of Cardiff castle, during which they will watch performances from musicians and poets, and meet with leading Welsh sportsmen and women.

The pair also plan to visit Star Hub, a community and leisure centre in the Tremorfa area of the city, to see how sport is being used to engage young people and aid social development.
